I spent $350 just on the CD of the photos, so I still have to pay to print them . It was actually a good deal becase he was in such a good mood that the photographer took 77 photos! But the owner made a DVD slide show and we got that too (for some reason he set the show to "Isn't she lovely" which is a little odd since I have a BOY, LOL). We got the sessions for free since we bought his newborn pics. We get a shoot at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. Then we also get a large print that has photos from each shoot one it.

The only thing your really need are carseat, crib/and or bassinet, clothes, sheets, blankets, burp rags, towel/wash rags, bathtub, stroller (If you plan on going anywhere, but you may not need this), swing/bouncer, bottles/bottle brush (unless you are definately EBF), diaperbag. I would leave high chair, if you have a bassinet you may want to leave the crib, changing table (you don't need this, you could change him on the bed or couch, I would also leave any toys except maybe a few rattles.

To my BFing girlies... How much BM does your babies take at a time. I am pumping for little guy (we never got the hang of BFing) and a couple people in the Breastfeeding section have said that I am giving him too much EBM. But I only feed him when he is hungry and he is not overweight. I just wanted to know your thoughts. He will eat anywhere from 6 to 8oz of BM at a time and he eats about every 4 hrs during the day and goes longer at night. He eats between 30-36oz a day most days. What do you guys think? I mean if he is not hungry he won't eat right?

Adorable pics ladies Jess my photographer is amazing & does outfoor shots as well so if u ever want & planning coming my way let me know! She does my session + 20pics I choose for 150 or 30pics for 200 or all 40+ she takes for a max $250

Leese I can't believe ur sooooo close girlie! Eeeeekkkk! I agree with Stacie's list! Definately a bouncy chair & little head hugger thingy so he can get used to being out of ur arms a bit even though u will totally wanna just cuddle him all day

Emm how u feeling hun?

Stace sorry I don't know by ounces but I say yes feed when he's hungry & don't worry about it

AFM we had Melina's 4month check & vaccines Friday & she did great the little superstar didn't even cry to much Weight is only at 14.6lbs though which is still within average but a little lower than the Dr would have guessed...when did u all start with cereals ladies?

Thanks Lisette!

Wow 14.6lbs? Liam was at 15lbs in mid Dec (a little shy of 3 months) and I think he is still big for his age, so I think 14.6lbs sounds just fine

I have given Liam a couple spoonfuls of cereal a few times, but he doesn't like it much. Most Dr.s here say 4 months you can start cereal and baby food, although I asked mine and he said if I wanted to I could start him a little earlier, but it wasn't necessary.

Our little people are so cute!! Love all the pics! I fortunately have a few friends who take photos so they charge us super cheap and give us the rights so I can't print them much cheaper on my own then having them do it. Our family session at 3 months was $150 and included the extended family (3 sets of grandparents and their spouses, plus my sisters little family, our little family, and the 2 boys alone). It was an amazing deal. I need to set up our 6 month photos too! I want them outside so I'm waiting for the snow to come back!

Taking Cam to the pediatrician tonight for eczema, a cold/cough with fever, and not pooping for 7 days... poor little man is falling apart! Hopefully we get it all figured out!

I'm trying to think what Cam weighed at 4 months... he was exactly 50% all around. I think it was like 15.5 lbs and 25" long... He goes next Monday for his 6 month checkup but I think he's about 17.5 lbs and 26" long now but we will find out tonight. We skipped cereal and went to homeade purees on the advice of our pedi. Rice cereal has all the arsenic alerts right now and there's no nutritional value really too it... We started with Avocado at 4.5 months and now he eats everything! Such a little chub-chub Last week we started with puree/solids at lunch with about 15 ounces of breastmilk divided over 3 bottles while at daycare and then nurses, eats a puree dinner, then nurses to sleep. He probably is at about 30 ounces a day of breastmilk plus 6 ounces of puree.... They say that double their body weight is about normal for ounces of milk per day...?

Leese- Stacie's list is pretty accurate- I also loved our bouncy seat and boppy. No changing table necessary yet.

Wanted to give you all an update on Emily and I:

I have been officially signed off of work. DH and I had talked about it over the weekend and we were feeling it was what I needed to do and both my doctors were VERY supportive of me being done early.

I saw both my specialist, for an ultrasound, and my regular OB today. Baby looks great. I have been continuing to have contractions/bad cramping/etc and so they checked my cervix and it has shortened more in the last week... is slightly shorter then they like at this point but is not anywhere near a "dangerous" length. My OB is running a fetal fibronectin test (sp?) to check how likely I am to deliver in the next two weeks. If it is negative there is still a chance but not nearly as likely. If it is positive they will be putting me on even more restrictions. As of right now I am just supposed to be taking it easy and laying down when I feel contractions. My OB said she thinks just the lack of stress/being off my feet from not working is going to help things to not progress too quickly.

I also found out today that they want to induce me at 38 weeks... so I am going to get to meet my little girl in about 4 weeks or less!!! 38 weeks is Feb 20th but we aren't officially scheduling the induction until a later date.

Overall baby is doing great and Mama is doing mostly okay. I am so relieved to be signed off of work as my instincts were screaming that I needed to stop.

 

[themarshas]

Glad to hear that Amy! Soooooo soon! Enjoy your time off and rest!

 

[Twinkie210]

Liz- thanks for the info! That makes me feel better about how much Liam eats. He was 15lbs about a month ago, 30-36oz of milk a day sounds about right!

Amy- I am glad you were able to quit work early We all want Emily to stay put awhile longer!

 

[NewbieLisette]

Liz OMG 7days no poop?!? I wanna cry for him! Poor baby!!! Hope the Dr can give u a quick fix for the lil cutie

Amy good girl! I know its not easy but ur being the best momma u can be already Rest up girlfriend!
